Apply for funding through Durham AAP
We have allocated all of our Area Budget and Towns and Villages funding for this financial year. Funding will become available again on 1 April 2024 - if your organisation has an idea for a project we would encourage you to get in touch so any preliminary work can be looked at before then.
Your County Councillors may have Neighbourhood Funding available, but please check with us first. Fun and Food funding for 2024 is still being decided, but this will be promoted once we know it is available.

Neighbourhood budget
Each county councillor has a budget of £19,400 that they can allocate to projects in the local community. County Councillors also have funding for projects linked to the 'Towns and Villages' agenda. You have to apply for funding. If you have a project idea you will need to discuss this with and get the support of your local County Councillor before an application can be considered.How to apply
See Your Councillors for a list of councillor contact details and information on the local projects they have supported with their Neighbourhood Budget.
